Hong Kong is one of the favorite tourist destinations in Asia.
This country is known for its wonderful shopping experience as
well as modern way of living. If you are going to visit Hong
Kong, prepare yourself for a wonderful blending of Western and
Eastern cultures.
1.) Visit Repulse Bay
So far, this is Hong Kong's most famous beach. Here, you will
get to see the Chinese Pavilion that is home to statues of the
traditional Chinese gods. This is also a wonderful place if you
want to have a leisurely stroll and immerse yourself in Hong
Kong sights and sounds.
2.) Visit Stanley Village
This is a very popular seaside village, and many tourists flock
here yearly. You can find here a very trendy shopping center as
well as the infamous Stanley Market where you can find lots of
bargain items. This is also a good place for you to buy your
souvenirs.
3.) Ride the Peak Tram
This is the best way if you want to reach the area called the
Peak. Once you are in the Peak Tram, prepare yourself for the
dizzying sights below and enjoy the seven-minute ride to the
top. If you are afraid of heights though, this ride is not for
you.
4.) Victoria Peak
This is where your Peak Tram ride ends. Once you reach
Victoria Peak, be enthralled at the wonderful sight of the city
below, especially if you visit Victoria Peak at night when Hong
Kong city lights are brightly shining. You can also find
excellent restaurants here, and what better way to enjoy dinner
than having a beautiful sight at the same time?
5.) Party in SoHo
If you want the best of the modern world, then come to SoHo.
In this place, you will surely enjoy the many international
restaurants and bars that are located here as well as the shops.
Be prepared for the night of your life here.
6.) Ride the Ngong Ping 360
Like the Peak Tram, this is not for those who are afraid of
heights, but to those who are not, then be prepared for this
beautiful cable car ride towards the Giant Buddha. During this
ride, you will get fabulous 360-degree views of Hong Kong's
rugged terrain and the sea. The wonderful sight of the fertile
valley below is truly something.
7.) Visit the Po Lin Monastery and the Giant Buddha
Your ride on the Ngong Ping will take you to these two tourist
attractions. Here, you will get the chance to visit the Po Lin
Monastery and enjoy its unique structure. Plus, you will also
be fascinated by the seated Giant Buddha.
8.) Take a Walk on the Wisdom Path
This is surely something that a tourist must do when in Lantau
Island, Hong Kong. This is also called the Heart Sutra. Here,
you will see wooden pillars where the prayers are written, and
what is interesting about it is that the pillars are arranged in
the infinity symbol.
9.) Visit the Tai O Fishing Village
For a firsthand experience of Hong Kong culture, visit the
fishing village of Tai O. You will surely become fascinated
with the houses that are built on stilts along the creek. The
families who live here are said to be direct descendants of the
first settlers of Hong Kong and are called the Hanka People.
10.) Enjoy Causeway Bay
If SoHo is not enough for you, then you must definitely visit
Causeway Bay. Here, you will definitely enjoy its malls as well
as little shops and boutiques. If you want more bargain items,
then definitely go to Causeway Bay's street markets.
